Isn’t it the same thing?

Law professor Glenn Reynolds quotes law professor Ann Althouse :
I wonder if those who screamed loudest about the Plame leak and national security are equally outraged about this new leak?

[t]hey strongly believe that the president’s secret order is in violation of the Fourth Amendment of the Constitution, which prohibits unreasonable searches.”
A few chuckleheads have tried to paint the Plame leak as an act of whistleblowing against the CIA .
